The long-anticipated sophomore album of CROSSES (†††) is finally set to arrive on October 13th
Titled “Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete,” CROSSES (†††), consisting of DEFTONES frontman Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez from FAR, initially planned to release a series of EPs that would later be compiled into a full-length album. However, it appears those plans have been scrapped in favor of an all-new material collection for this upcoming release.
Following their self-titled album in 2014, this new LP promises to be a thrilling musical journey, featuring exciting guest appearances from esteemed artists. Notably, THE CURE‘s iconic vocalist, Robert Smith, and El-P from RUN THE JEWELS will be lending their talents to this eagerly awaited opus. With such an impressive lineup and fresh material, fans can expect a memorable and captivating musical experience from CROSSES (†††) once again.
Chino Moreno comments: “When we started working on Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete., there was so much more light coming in my life, for numerous reasons. There’s a lot more optimism. Even the darker themes are more romanticized and not coming from a place of despair.”
The first offering from the upcoming album is the song “Invisible Hand” and its official music video, which was co-directed by Lopez and Lorenzo Carrera. You can check that out below.
